RAH RAH PREMIERES “ART AND A WIFE” ON MTVHIVE

Last week Rah Rah’s new single, “Art and a Wife,” was premiered on MTV Hive and was described as, “one of the most sincere play-by-plays ever in a rock song.”  It’s the foot-stomping indie rock melody that tells the personal story of a jaded rock and roller, and only the opener of their upcoming full length. The Poet’s Dead will be available October 2nd through Hidden Pony Records.

Jeremy Fisher Releases Fifth LP MINT JULEPS

Mint Juleps, the latest full length album from the two-time Juno Award nominee Jeremy Fisher, was released Tuesday, July 3, through Hidden Pony Records.

The fifth album by the Canadian, acoustic singer-songwriter, Jeremy Fisher returns to his folk-drenched musical roots and brings you to the lazy excitement of summer. This acoustic-driven full length journeys through Fisher’s coy, sweet lyricism and the handpicked covers by the likes of Greg Brown and Jean Leloup.

San Cisco Releases New Video for Rocket Ship

The Australian, indie pop trio San Cisco releases new music video for their song Rocket Ship, off of the Awkward EP. Lead man, Jordi Davieson said of filming the upbeat track, “Shooting ‘Rocket Ship’ was really fun, it was like a day in the life of San Cisco. We hang out with friends and family and did some crazy stuff, some legal, some not so. I have no idea who that is jumping off the bridge!”

Showing no signs of slowing down since the launch of their sophomore EP, Awkward, San Cisco will be heading overseas to perform at the East Coast festival Splendour In The Grass.

MTVHive Premiered New Single from Beast Make Bomb
